Steven F. Barrett, Ph.D., P.E., received the BS Electronic Engineering Technology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1979, the M.E.E.E. from the University of Idaho at Moscow in 1986, and the Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in 1993. He was formally an active duty faculty member at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado and is now the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education at the University of Wyoming and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is a member of IEEE (senior) and Tau Beta Pi (chief faculty advisor). His research interests include digital and analog image processing, computer-assisted laser surgery, and embedded controller systems. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Wyoming and Colorado. He co-wrote with Dr. Daniel Pack several textbooks on microcontrollers and embedded systems. In 2004, Barrett was named "Wyoming Professor of the Year" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and in 2008 was the recipient of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Professional Engineers in Higher Education, Engineering Education Excellence Award.

Jeffrey Anderson received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Wyoming in 2004 with a research emphasis in image segmentation of objects in serial sectioned images. He received his BS and ME from the University of Utah in 1989 and 1992, respectively. He has worked on a closed loop controller for mechanical ventilation of patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome. Additionally, he has worked on a servo lung simulator with related control method that was awarded a U.S. patent. He is a member of IEEE and Tau Beta Pi. He is a registered professional engineering in the state of Wyoming. He taught mechanical, electrical and computer courses at the University of Wyoming as a Senior Lecturer for 15 years. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering program at Utah Tech University.

Jonathan S. Barrett's formal education includes a M.S. in Psychology with an emphasis in individual/organizational growth and development including multicultural integration, a MBA in Global Management and a B.A. in International Economics.
Currently, he is a Sr. Developer/Designer working exclusively with veterinary practices and veterinary organizations across the United States and abroad. He also continues to contract with national and international organizations of all scales and sizes in various organizational development (OD) capacities.
Previously, Jonathan served the University of Wyoming's College of Engineering and Applied Science as their acting director of marketing and communications. His initial charge was to actively integrate the Strategic Diversity Initiatives Committee into university-wide operations. This committee's primary objective was to increase the level of social intelligence within the organization's structure with emphasis on minority populations (ethnic and LGBTQIA+), while simultaneously continuing the building of the university's relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The highlight of this period was being charged to spearhead the initial visibility of the vision for the now operational Engineering Education and Research Building (EERB). This now completed project accumulated $115M ($110M building, $5M equipment) to Laramie's and the state of Wyoming's economies with the intent of continuing to build the college's reputation as a Tier 1 international engineering school and research institution. Additionally, this included the $76M High Bay Research Facility, now fully operational.
His passions include lifespan development, movement, the arts and being immersed in unfamiliar cultures.
Jonathan lives permanently in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
